Left 4 Dead, LA Noire, all Need for Speed games, Sniper Elite V2, Skyrim, Just Cause 2, Far Cry 2, Alan Wake, Ghost Recon, Call of Duty, Burnout Revenge, GTA IV, etc. Why would I buy any of those games on the Xbox 360 over my PC? Skyrim on a console? A complete waste of time for a PC gamer. Not only that but every single one of those games you bought for 360 cost me way less on the PC because of Steam/GOG/Origin. So again, I'd get inferior graphics, controls, no mods, and pay more $$ for those games. Makes no sense.
Other than Project Gotham Racing (good game but I prefer Forza), Gears of War and Halo, nearly everything else you have on there like Red Dead Redemption, Fifa, Fighting/Boxing games have either exact same games or similar games on PS3. So I'd have to buy an Xbox 360 for Halo, Forza, PGR and GOW only.
Xbox 360 is easily the most redundant console for a PC gamer. For most high-end PC gamers what makes consoles exciting/worth it are their exclusives. Otherwise they are pretty much worthless unless you are a big time COD or sports fan and have a ton of console friends who play those games online. But then you'd have to pay Xbox Live fees. Why do that when it's free on PS3 for those same titles? Again makes no sense financially. Xbox 360 has the weakest library of exclusives out of last 3 consoles and it costs money to play COD/sports games with your console friends. Also, some of these titles like Halo, Fable and Gears you can even buy on the PC.
I browsed various PC forums since Xbox 360 launched. The general consensus is that the least popular console among hardcore PC gamers is the Xbox 360 for all the reasons I outlied above. You just happen to be in the minority of PC gamers who sees value in the 360 and got butthurt that I outlined all the reasons why Xbox 360 is redundant for most PC gamers.
TL;DR:
Why pay more $ for Xbox games that look worse, have no mods, run like a dog at 20-30 fps at 1280x720 resolutions or lower when my PC crushes all those games for less $? And then to play multi-plats online with my console friends I have to pay online Xbox Live fees when PS3 offers online for free for same multiplayer cross-platform titles??!! What kind of logic is that? I didn't become a PC gamer because I like wasting my $ on worse gaming experiences.

Absolutely not. I spent most of this gen with Wii + PC and still bought a 360. 360 is less popular among PC games, sure, but that is because they don't know that the console has way more than Halo, Gears and Forza, which is just what you proved in this post. You can't play Ace Combat 6, Dead or Alive 4, Magna Carta 2, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Banjo-Kazooie, Project Sylpheed, Infinite Undiscovery, PGR, Perfect Dark, Kameo, Viva Pinãta, etc, and many exclusive XB Live Arcade games on the PS3 or PC. Also, the multiplats that aren't on PC have their better versions on the 360, like Eternal Sonata, Red Dead Redemption, Star Ocean 4, AC Assault Horizon, etc, so the whole argument you made is because you don't know the game library of the Xbox.
That stuff about PS3 having more exclusives isn't real, both the 360 and Wii have more exclusives than PS3, it just happens that somebody decided to say otherwise and nobody cares about actually looking the game library of the consoles. I'm sure if you looked deeper into 360's library you would probably have found many other exclusives that you could care about.
About 360 vs PC multiplats I totally agree with you. I just have a 360 here for the exclusives and better versions of PS3 multiplats, because every other game that releases on every platform i buy for PC, which has better graphics, control options and prices. Buying multiplatform games for 360 that are also on PC makes no sense(considering you have a capable PC, of course).
